Poppins Book Nook: Cars: Five Fast Tales and a Giveaway

Welcome back to this months edition of Poppins Book Nook!

Conner is finally starting to read a little, so I had bought some readers that interested him. So, this month we worked our way through Cars: Five Fast Tales. It is so fun to watch your kids learn new things isn't it? It is like there whole face glows over the excitement of reaching a major accomplishment!

The activities I chose for this month was pretty simple.

The first one we did was I had him get some of his matchbox cars out and we did some tire tracks on a piece of paper with some black paint. He thought it was neat that his tractor tires were different than his car and truck. Of course we talked about why. Which brought up the discussion of when our pastor would be taking him out in the field.

The next thing we did was to make a race car out of an empty toilet paper roll. I used the end of the roll and marked out 4 wheels. He painted his car red and his wheels black. Then, I used paper brads and attached the wheels to the toilet roll using a hole punch. He wanted his name and and the number 8 put on it. What boy doesn't like race cars! If you make the brads lose enough, the wheels will spin.

The last thing we did was some fun with ramps! I had him get some of his Duplo blocks out and we built them at different heights and marked how far the car went with masking tape. He had a blast!!

All in all a fun month again!! I think we went on more rabbit trails with this months topic then we normally do, but isn't that when the real learning begins!!
